Nicholas Breakspear, St Albans Year 7/8 County Schools Shield Winners 2019
Congratulations to Nicholas Breakspear school who are our Year 7/8 County Schools shield winners 2019!
The Nicholas Breakspear school from St Albans were coached by Headteacher - Declan Linnane and School Teacher/St Colmcilles Ladies player Claire Hayes.
Nicholas Breakspear's (NBS) agonising one point defeat after extra time to Beaumont in last years tournament must have lasted long in the memory of the St Albans school team, as they were not to be denied their victory this time around.
Heading into the dying minutes of the shield final, the yellow and blues were trailing by one point to John F Kennedy's (JFK), and with the game heading into the final seconds, they gave it one last push and with their final attack the JFK school team scrambled to defend, only for a late penalty to be awarded which was coolly dispatched to award NBS the title and deny JFK the victory on home turf.
